Description
BEATLES FOR SALE JAPANESE ODEON OP 7179 RELEASED ON THE 15 th march 1965 (ODEON HAD A HABIT OF RELEASING RECORDS ON THE 5th 10th OR 15th OF EACH MONTH)THE DISC'S CAME IN RED AND BLACK VINYL THE RED VINYL COPIES BEING 1st PRESSING AND REPORTEDLY BEING OF SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY HAVING LISTENED TO THIS COPY I CAN AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT.
THE SLEEVE DOES SUFFER FROM WEAR ALONG THE BOTTOM AND TOP EDGES AND A SPLIT ALONG THE SEAM HAS BEEN REPAIRED WITH WHAT IS CALLED INVISIBLE TAPE AND SEEMS TO WORK QUITE WELL ,THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM WRITING AND STAINING ,IT IS A GATEFOLD SLEEVE AND ALL INTERNAL TEXT IS IN JAPANESE BUT THE ALBUM SLEEVE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE UK RELEASE
THE VINYL DISC LOOKS SUPERB IN THE DARK RED COLOUR WITH BLACK AND SILVER ODEON LABELS WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT AND FREE FROM WRITING AND STAINING THERE ARE LOTS OF SPINDLE MARKS BUT THE CENTRE HOLES ARE EXCELLENT WITH NO LABEL WEAR OR DAMAGE .THE PLAYING SURFACES HAVE SOME HANDLING MARKS AND ONE LONG SCRATCH OVER FOUR TRACKS ON SIDE 2 BUT IS NOT FEELABLE AND DOESNT IMPAIR PLAY THERE IS SOME MINOR CRACKLING ON THE RUN IN AND BETWEEN TRACKS BUT IT IS A GREAT LISTENING EXPERIENCE AND IT LOOKS BRILLIANT ON THE TURNTABLE I UNDERSTAND WHY JAPANESE BEATLE COLLECTORS RATE THESE COPIES SO HIGHLY. THIS IS NOW A HIGHLY DESIRABLE AND COLLECTABLE RECORD WHICH WAS RARE WHEN INITIALLY RELEASED.
